Around the Grounds
Rain, rain and more rain. Unfortunately, that was the theme for Week 1, with many sporting events impacted by persistent wet weather. This led to the postponement of both the Girls Football Diocesan Championships and the Diocesan Cross Country Championships. The football day has been rescheduled to Wednesday, 21 May, while the cross country event will now take place on Monday, 26 May.
Despite the disruptions, we managed to finalise the remaining MISA trials, and all teams have now been selected and are ready to go for Week 2. Several of our MISA teams were also lucky enough to get matches underway thanks to the well-drained ovals in the Campbelltown area. A summary of these games is provided below.

Mount Carmel Catholic College Annual Cross Country
2025 Recap
The Mount Carmel Catholic College Annual Cross Country took place on April 11. This year's carnival was a collaborative effort that brought students and staff together to create a fun-filled day of athleticism, competition, and school spirit. The competitive races were held across the road at Kooringa Reserve, which proved to be a fantastic change of scenery. The long, rolling fields received positive feedback from both students and staff, contributing to an engaging and enjoyable event.
We are thrilled to announce the age champions and overall house results from the day:

Carnival Highlights
The day was packed with exciting activities beyond the traditional races:
- An obstacle course tested the agility, strength, and balance of participants.
- A high-energy cheer-off saw all four houses bring their best spirit, chants, and creativity. Murray took out the cheering competition in a tight chant-off with the other hosues
- A volleyball & Dodgeball house tournaments brought out impressive displays of teamwork and skill as teams battled it out for victory.
What made the day especially memorable was the active involvement of our teachers, who enthusiastically manned stations and participated alongside students. Their energy helped lift the atmosphere and encouraged everyone to give their best.
Thankfully, the weather was perfect, with sunny skies and cool breezes setting the stage for a brilliant community event.
